This morning I woke at 3:55am! Our bus departs with all the international team members each day at 4:45am. Today I gave myself some extra time to have coffee on the dark shore of the Sea. I watched the twinkling lights of Tiberius in the distance and tried to call my friend Justin (Justin – you hung up on me!).

The dig site was buzzing with the various teams and officials trying to set up our sites. After some initial prep work we had a short address from Arthur Segal the Polish head archeologist from the Univ of Haifa in Israel we began to dig away. I am working in a space called a square my zone is F2.

We work carefully under the hot sun - shave the dirt by 10 centimeters at a time. I am very tired. I will post pics of the dig site ASAP now that we are mostly settled. Our afternoons have a nice amount of free time in the afternoon – we swim, walk around and work in the lab.
